More & more rumors are coming to a stop while Sony is releasing more & more information by the hour about the Playstation Network outage.
You've seen quite a few threads about people saying they've had money stolen from their credit card, right? Well, wrong. If there was a massive breach in credit card information that had anything to do with Sony, they wouldn't hesitate to ask the bank that is associated with that credit card. But, a source has called both Bank of America and Chase, asking if there has been any calls from Sony regarding these massive breaches in credit card information, yet both customer service representatives say they haven't had any contact with Sony since the reports came in about the credit card theft.

Regarding rumors Sony may have notified banks days ahead of disclosing today’s revelations to the public, I have since contacted customer service representatives at both Bank of America and Chase. I personally have accounts at both financial firms and the representatives claimed to have received no information from Sony about a mass breach of credit information.
This being said, your credit card information is supposedly safe, but I'd still disable your credit card from your Playstation Network until it is confirmed that the problem has been cleared.

That's because the information that they didn't encrypt is information that isn't worth encrypting to begin with. 90% of companies who take that information are not going to have it encrypted. They encrypted the important information, that's what counts.

Cake is a lie
Good news. Also now the people who are angry MOSTLY BECAUSE PSN IS DOWN can stop the "my CC info is taken, I hate Sony" scapegoating.
